Biochemical disease mechanism

MSUD affects a protein called branched-chain alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase complex (BCKDHC), which is involved in the degradation of branched amino acids (Val, Leu, Ile). BCKDHC consists of four subunits:

subunit	name	chromosomal gene location	MSUD-type
BCKDHA	Branched chain keto acid dehydrogenase E1, alpha polypeptide	19q13.1-q13.2	1a
BCKDHB	branched chain keto acid dehydrogenase E1, beta polypeptide	6q14.1	1b
DBT	Dihydrolipoamide branched chain transacylase E2	1p31	2
DLD	dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase	7q31-q32	3
